Capucine

Please let me introduce you to Capucine, a Hermann turtle, our new pet. She's really tiny but that's normal for a one-year old garden turtle. She's going to grow a lot and probably outlive me, as they can live up to 60 years. I thought it was the ideal pet for us as it doesn't need much care (apart from me growing dandelion seeds, talking to her, bathing her and checking on her every half hour like a newborn baby...) Let's be honest, Capucine was more for me than for the girls...

PS: I assumed "she" was a "girl". I might have to call her Maurice in a few years...
